    NAMMA TWO-DIMENSIONAL STEREO PROBE AND CLOUD PARTICLE IMAGER V1

    Metadata Updated: February 22, 2025

    The NAMMA Two-Dimensional Stereo Probe and Cloud Particle Imager dataset consists of data from two probes used to measure the size, shape, and concentration of cloud particles; the two-dimensional stereo probe (2D-S), and the cloud particle imager (CPI). Both of these probes measure particle size distributions and derives extinction, particle concentration, ice water content and particle shape. Both probes provide hi-resolution black and white images of cloud particles. These data files were generated during support of the NASA African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (NAMMA) campaign, a field research investigation sponsored by the Science Mission Directorate of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This mission was based in the Cape Verde Islands, 350 miles off the coast of Senegal in west Africa. Commencing in August 2006, NASA scientists employed surface observation networks and aircraft to characterize the evolution and structure of African Easterly Waves (AEWs) and Mesoscale Convective Systems over continental western Africa, and their associated impacts on regional water and energy budgets.
